Made here at home: Daniel Defense


BRYAN CO., GA (WTOC) -

It was 10 years ago when Marty Daniel, by chance, turned his hobby for building guns into a worldwide small arms manufacturing business known as Daniel Defense.

"There were some components I wanted for my own weapons that weren't available," said Daniel. "I talked another manufacturer into building a hundred. I only needed 4, so I had to sell the other 96 of them. We set up a website. It was alot of fun. From there, we have grown into a firearms manufacturer that manufactures from raw material to finished guns."

The business has developed over the years from component sales in the commercial market to rifle sales.

"I think we are unique because we found a niche in the market where we want to built the absolute best firearms in the world. We are accomplishing that and continuing to raise the bar on that and doing it with people we found right here at home. We are having great success," said Daniel.

Each day, 50 rifles are manufactured at their plant in Black Creek and distributed across the world.

"These guns were built yesterday and they will be out the door today," said Daniel. "They are all pre-sold and we are sold out for about three to four months right now. We have a high demand product and we are continually stepped up production," said Daniel.

Daniel Defense also provides military firearms. They won a contract in 2003 to upgrade all m4's for the Special Forces.

"We love working for them and being a part of giving them the best tools they need to get the job done," said Daniel. "We are proud of the work they do and we support them."

Daniel Defense provides protection that is made here locally and used to defend people all across the world.

The company hopes to expand their rifle selection in the years to come and move into the handgun business by 2015.

Their long term goal is to capture 10 percent of the gun market.
